Poteau Water Pricing Model

The Poteau Water Pricing Model determines how much residents and businesses pay for water based on their usage and the costs of providing reliable service. It considers factors like infrastructure expenses, operational costs, and conservation goals. Typically, the model uses tiered rates, where higher usage results in higher per-unit costs, encouraging efficient water use. This approach helps ensure the water utility covers its costs, maintains infrastructure, and promotes sustainable consumption without placing undue financial burden on users. It balances affordability with the financial health of the water system.
